Playing Favorites

Mandy Ellsworth

I swear, I can't hold either one of my babies without a suggestion from my Mom that I might be playing favorites.  If I pick up one child while I'm on my break (I am working from home in the office while my Mom watches the boys at my house) and I only have a minute, I put down the baby to go back to work and my Mom says, "Do you want to play with the other baby too?"  Then there are the times she says she worries that I don't pay enough attention to one over the other.  She is worried I don't pay enough attention to a different baby every day!

I would love to play with both of them, rather than go to work, but I only have so much time and I hate that I can't kiss Ethan without my Mom thinking I am not paying attention at all to James.

How frustrating! I hope your mom lays off; I think we MOMs have enough guilt trying to keep things even between babies without someone else saying junk like that!
